Around the World Reading

I'm in the midst of a journey around the world, armchair traveling through the pages of books. Below I have charted the books I have read that are set in each country listed.  I do not travel alone, as many friends and fellow readers join me from the Goodreads group, Around the World. The beauty of this group rests in that there are no rules for what you read.Come join us!
